A combined thermo-mechanical refrigeration system with isobaric expander-compressor unit powered by low grade heat – Design and analysis
( Elsevier , 2020 , Article)Refrigeration and air conditioning systems consume about 17% of the world-wide electricity and their conventional refrigerants cause ozone depletion and global warming. In this study a novel thermo-mechanical refrigeration ... -
Experimental investigations on the performance of a thermo-mechanical refrigeration system utilizing ultra-low temperature waste heat sources
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Experimental studies that investigate the utilization of ultra-low temperature (between 48 °C and 120 °C) waste heat, which forms 25 % of the global unrecovered waste heat, to drive thermal cooling systems are rare. Thus, ... -
Heat transfer analysis of regenerative thermo-mechanical refrigeration system
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2020 , Conference Paper)Refrigeration systems contribute to the critical environmental concerns including global warming and ozone depletion. It is necessary to develop new systems that use renewable energy resources and waste heat to perform the ... -
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
( Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum , 2013 , Conference Paper)Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
